  • Angels' Michael Stefanic: Back in lineup Tuesday

    Stefanic (calf) will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Stefanic hadn't started in any of the last four games after he was removed from Friday's game against the Astros with calf tightness, but he felt well enough to make an appearance off the bench Sunday. His return to the lineup Wednesday indicates that he's healthy, but Stefanic will likely have to settle for more of a part-time role once Brandon Drury is fully recovers from a hamstring injury. Drury is back in the lineup Wednesday as the Angels' designated hitter following a five-game absence.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Tallies three hits Tuesday

    Torres went 3-for-4 with a double and three runs in an 11-2 win against Seattle on Tuesday.

    Torres set the table well from the leadoff spot, scoring after each of his three hits. He was given a couple innings off his feet when Jon Berti took over for him at second base with the Yankees up big in the seventh inning. Torres is in the midst of an outstanding September, slashing .365/.423/.508 with two home runs, nine RBI, 14 runs and a 7:11 BB:K through 15 games.

  • Adam Macko RP | TEX

    Blue Jays' Adam Macko: Back in action, joins Triple-A

    Macko (forearm) was reinstated from Double-A New Hampshire's 7-day injured list Sept. 11 and promoted to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

    Macko had been on the shelf at Double-A since July 6 with a left forearm injury before beginning a rehab assignment with Single-A Dunedin on Aug. 24. After three rehab starts with Dunedin, Macko returned to action for New Hampshire on Sept. 11, tossing four innings while allowing six runs in a loss to Somerset. Despite the poor showing, Macko moved up to Buffalo and made his Triple-A debut Tuesday, when he struck out three while allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over three innings.

  • Angels' Gustavo Campero: Swipes first big-league bag

    Campero went 2-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-0 win against the White Sox.

    One day after notching his first major-league hit -- a run-scoring single -- Campero posted his first multi-hit performance with a pair of singles. He also recorded his first theft with a fifth-inning swipe of second base, which led to a run on a Nolan Schanuel double. Campero is starting in right field for the third straight game Wednesday, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, and if he gets enough playing time down the stretch he could be a sneaky source of steals, as he swiped 33 bags in 40 attempts over 107 games in the minors prior to his Sept. 15 promotion to the majors.

  • Niko Kavadas 1B | LAA

    Angels' Niko Kavadas: Out versus southpaw

    Kavadas is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    With southpaw Jared Shuster toeing the rubber for the White Sox, the left-handed-hitting Kavadas will begin the contest on the bench. Brandon Drury will fill the Halos' designated-hitter slot.

  • Mickey Moniak LF | COL

    Angels' Mickey Moniak: Remains out Wednesday

    Moniak (hand) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Moniak hasn't played since being hit in the hand by a pitch Sunday, although the left-handed-batter might not have been in the lineup Wednesday, anyway, with the White Sox starting southpaw Jared Shuster. Jordyn Adams will start in center field for the Angels in the series finale.

  • Logan O'Hoppe DH | TEX

    Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Absent from lineup

    O'Hoppe is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    O'Hoppe will give way to Matt Thaiss at catcher for the second time during the three-game series. The 24-year-old O'Hoppe has gone just 3-for-23 with 11 strikeouts over his last seven contests.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Rare day off amidst slump

    Neto is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    In the midst of a 1-for-24 drought at the dish, Neto is receiving a rare day off. Jack Lopez will cover shortstop and bat second for the Angels while Neto gets some rest.

  • Angels' Brandon Drury: Back in at DH on Wednesday

    Drury (hamstring) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game versus the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Drury is back in action for the first time in a week after he had been battling a sore left hamstring. Injuries have limited him to just 88 games this season, and he's managed a dreadful .478 OPS during that time.

  • Luis Robert CF | BAL

    White Sox's Luis Robert: Getting afternoon off

    Robert is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Zach DeLoach will step in as Chicago's No. 2 hitter and starter in center field while Robert retreats to the bench for the day game after a night game. Robert had started in each of the White Sox's last 13 games, slashing .264/.298/.321 with no home runs, one stolen base, seven runs and two RBI during that stretch.
